Are you ever just completely amazed by all the information ‘out there’ in the world? You can google any problem or issue and voilá someone is an expert, someone has been through your exact problem and solved it. If you need ideas or suggestions for better meetings, employee reviews, marketing, job descriptions, strategic plans, it is literally all out there on the world wide web. This makes me very happy. I read 10-15 articles or blog posts every day…I cannot soak up enough knowledge. Which is why I post my Fab Four articles each Friday…I want you to read great stuff each week as well.

Here are five thought leaders that I like and read weekly and I think you will like as well, so I provided a few details about each one so you can check them out.

1. Michael Hyatt: Forbes ranked him one of the top 10 online marketing experts to follow in 2014. His weekly e-mails are wonderful and informative. Besides marketing, he also talks a lot about leadership and personal development.

2. Scott Berkun: I finished reading his book The Year Without Pants and it was wonderful. Scott is a thoughtful writer and provides great insight to career planning and leadership. And he’s one of my favorites not only for his great material but he also commented on my blog once! (so cool!)

3. Alexandra Franzen: Need a kick in the butt? She will deliver! Inspiring, motivational and intentional. I love everything she writes. She has a passion for teaching the art of writing but she also talks a lot about communication. Just a delight.

4. Kevan Lee, The Buffer Blog: By far, one of the best blogs out there in my opinion on all things social media and marketing. Kevan really does his homework and provides great content everyday.

5. Jacqueline Wolven: I’m proud to say I know Jackie personally. Her posts are inspiring and many times she will say those things that most people are afraid to say, which I love about her. She provides marketing, branding and social media expertise but she also writes about simple lifestyles and doing good work.

So, you might ask, how do I keep up with all these folks and all the articles? Here’s how I do it.

1. Pocket: I obviously have a full time job and I am a wife and mom so I can’t read every great article in the moment, so I save them to Pocket for reading later.

2. Buffer: When I find a great article, I want to share them with the world, so I tweet them. Again, I am busy and can’t tweet on the go so I buffer content and Buffer schedules all of my tweets. I know you thought I was on Twitter 24/7 but I’m not.

3. Feedly: I love to blog but even more I love to follow and read great blogs so I use feedly to follow all my favorite bloggers and read their posts when I have a free moment throughout the day. Plus from Feedly I can Pocket or Buffer my favorite posts.

4. Daily: Created by Buffer, this app curates some of the best content ‘daily’ and you can choose to send the content to Buffer right from the app. Genius!
